Abstract

An array type multi-pass inkjet printer head and an operating method thereof. The array type inkjet printer includes an image dividing unit to divide an image to be printed into a plurality of images, a printing unit having a head and to print one of the plurality of divided images on a printing medium using the head, the head being formed in a lateral direction and having a plurality of nozzles disposed in a longitudinal direction thereof, a feedback unit to reversely move the printing medium to a preceding end of the printing unit after the one of the plurality of divided images is printed by the printing unit, and a control unit to control the printing unit to print a divided image next to the printed one image on the reversely moved printing medium.
